Hi, I have developed a program that allow to slide windows partially
out of the desktop into the desktop if the mouse pointer is over or
not them.

A graphical explaination is here:

To work correctly my application
(http://mop.mine.nu/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/slidewin/)
needs a window manager that allow pager to move windows outside
the desktop.

This patch allow pager program like wmctrl (and only these) to move
windows where it communicates (my patch works accordingly to specs:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.3.html#id2506756)

To apply the patch you need compile the package before (sorry).

Regards, Matteo.
